The Silver American Eagle was introduced by the United States Mint in 1986 following passage of the Liberty Coin Act of 1985. Each coin in the series is struck using silver sourced from within the US. Coins with a perfect MS70 grade from the NGC have their full, original luster and no detracting marks, blemishes, or hairlines. As part of the Early Release edition, these coins were received by the NGC during the first 30 days of their release.

On the obverse side of these 2015 coins is Adolph A. Weinman’s depiction of Lady Liberty. Known as Walking Liberty, her image was first used on the Walking Liberty Half Dollar in 1916. The reverse side bears the image of John Mercanti’s heraldic eagle. A chief engraver at the US Mint, Mercanti created the image specifically for the Silver American Eagle.

The United States Mint produces these 2015 Burnished Silver American Eagles using special burnished planchets. Rather than using a burnished die cast when striking the coins, each individual planchet (or blank) is burnished. Compared to brilliant uncirculated coins in the series, very few burnished coins are struck each year.
